New York leads 5-0 after Chris Drury's power-play goal 5:03 into the second period. But Michael Ryder scores twice before the end of the period, and goals by Alex Kovalev and Mark Streit make it 5-4 with more than 13 minutes remaining in the third.

Kovalev ties the game by scoring a power-play goal with 4:22 remaining in the third, and Saku Koivu scores the game-deciding goal in the second round of the tiebreaker.
